27: Chapter 27 Poetry Rain Advances, Prodigies Gather

Over these past few days, Zhou Bai had used qi and blood pills and blood nurturing pills, and had now even consumed the meat of a Heaven-Shaking Demonic Bear.

Although these sources of Qi and Blood Power were equally pure, they had left Zhou Bai's Qi and Blood Power somewhat unstable.

If he did not stabilize it and continued to use these cultivation resources, it would affect his subsequent cultivation.

“learning points are still better. Unfortunately, the speed of acquiring learning points is still not fast enough!”

Zhou Bai murmured to himself.

“Boom!!!!”

At that moment, a violent roar of qi and blood suddenly erupted from another room in the apartment.

Zhou Bai's eyes lit up. Had Shiyu's Qi and Blood Power seen a massive increase?

Following that, Zhou Bai waited in the living room, slowly circulating his Breathing Technique to stabilize the somewhat unstable Qi and Blood Power within his body.

Soon, two hours passed, and the sound of a door opening rang out.

Zhao Shiyu walked out of the room looking radiant.

At this moment, majestic Qi and Blood Power surged around Zhao Shiyu, forming its own cycle within her body; she seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

“Junior Brother Zhou Bai, I've broken through to the Fourth-Rank!”

Then, Zhao Shiyu rushed in front of Zhou Bai and threw herself directly into his embrace.

“Fourth-Rank, not bad! Congratulations, Senior Sister, on becoming a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist!”

Hearing this, Zhou Bai was also sincerely happy for Zhao Shiyu.

Even in those top martial arts universities, a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist was considered quite powerful.

For Zhao Shiyu to reach this step so quickly in a Vocational College with her A-rank talent was truly not easy.

“This is all thanks to you, Junior Brother Zhou Bai!”

Zhao Shiyu said joyfully, snuggling in Zhou Bai's arms.

“My credit? No, Shiyu, it's the result of your own hard work. I didn't help much!”

Zhou Bai said.

“Junior Brother, really. Every time after we have our fun, I feel a slight increase in my Qi and Blood Power, and it seems my cultivation efficiency has improved as well!”

Zhao Shiyu then said to Zhou Bai with a serious expression.

“Really? Am I that magical?”

Zhou Bai was stunned; this was something he hadn't anticipated.

“Yes, Junior Brother Zhou Bai. Before being with you, I was only a Third-Rank Martial Artist with two Bone Temperings. But after having fun with you many times, I completed two more Bone Temperings this past month. Last night's beast meat allowed me to complete the Fifth Bone Tempering, and then I naturally broke through to the Fourth-Rank. Now, my Qi and Blood Power should be over 12,000 cal!”

Zhao Shiyu continued.

Could it be the system's doing, or is it my physique? But I've never heard of a double S-rank physique having the effect of increasing cultivation efficiency...

Whatever, regardless of how it happened, Shiyu's increase in strength is a good thing.

“Junior Brother Zhou Bai, it's truly wonderful to be with you!”

Zhao Shiyu snuggled in Zhou Bai's arms, her face overflowing with a happy smile.

Zhou Bai also gently embraced Zhao Shiyu.

“Junior Brother Zhou Bai, now I can take the lead again!”

After a while, Zhao Shiyu stood up, hooked Zhou Bai's chin, and said with a beaming smile.

“Hmph, just a mere Fourth-Rank. Come, let me see your limit!”

Zhou Bai said without the slightest fear...

“Bring it on, who's afraid of who!”

Zhao Shiyu was full of confidence...

...

A day and a night passed. Both Zhou Bai and Zhao Shiyu felt the world spinning, as if they had forgotten everything, losing themselves...

...

After washing up in the bathroom, the two of them lay on the bed together to rest.

Zhao Shiyu's mind was blank; even at the Fourth-Rank, she was burnt out and had no strength left.

Zhou Bai was also somewhat tired, but he was still studying hard.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing one session of deep learning. learning points +2. Current remaining learning points: 520!]

After the learning was completed, the system's notification sounded in Zhou Bai's mind.

“I didn't expect that Shiyu's advancement would have this benefit!”

Hearing the system's notification, Zhou Bai's heart was full of joy.

After Zhao Shiyu broke through to the Fourth-Rank, the growth of learning points doubled. One session of learning could now yield 2 learning points, which undoubtedly made Zhou Bai's learning point acquisition much more efficient.

Moreover, Zhou Bai now knew that the efficiency of acquiring learning points was related to the strength of his partner.

“If a Fourth-Rank gives 2 per session, if I could find a Grandmaster or even a Martial Saint to study with every day, wouldn't I just take off on the spot...”

Zhou Bai couldn't help but think to himself.

However, Zhou Bai also knew that this idea was too hollow. How could such a powerhouse marry him and then cooperate with him to study hard?

“Better not think too much and just honestly grasp the present!”

Zhou Bai said to himself.

In the following time, Zhou Bai stabilized his Qi and Blood Power every day while working hard at studying with Zhao Shiyu to accumulate learning points.

Time flew by quickly, and the moment for the main competition of the Battle of the Dawn arrived.

...

Xia Country, Magic City.

Magic City's martial arts and economy were both at the top of Xia Country, and it was also the most prosperous city in the nation.

Giant airships could be seen flying everywhere, and many martial artists on the streets were discussing martial arts; the martial atmosphere was extremely thick.

The Magic Cube Martial Arts Arena was named so because its shape resembled a Rubik's Cube, and it was one of the largest martial arts arenas in Xia Country.

The main competition of the Battle of the Dawn was being held here.

The Battle of the Dawn had always been one of the focuses of Xia Country every year. After all, it was a battle between fresh martial artists who had just stepped onto the path of martial arts.

The fact that the vast majority of them were Prodigy Cadets with S-rank Talents or higher made this battle full of anticipation and variables.

At this moment, countless freshman prodigies had already gathered at the Magic Cube Martial Arts Arena.

“Your Imperial Martial Arts University has already achieved a four-year winning streak in the Battle of the Dawn. What are your thoughts on the upcoming Battle of the Dawn?”

At the entrance of the Magic Cube Martial Arts Arena, a reporter from New Martial Media was interviewing a youth in blue from Imperial Martial Arts University.

“Is there even a need to ask? Naturally, it's to achieve an unprecedented five-year winning streak. Our Imperial Martial Arts University is destined to reign supreme over all colleges and become the truly strongest martial arts university!”

The blue-clothed youth from Imperial Martial Arts University said with a disdainful look, his tone extremely confident.

“Heh, wanting a five-year streak? Keep dreaming. This is our Magic City's home turf; we will knock you Imperial Martial Arts University people back to reality!”

Not far away, a Magic Martial Arts Prodigy Cadet who had just arrived at the Magic Cube Martial Arts Arena sneered.

“Haha, you trash who have been stepped on by our Imperial Martial Arts University for four consecutive championships dare to bark? Oh, wait, it was only three times. Last time, you didn't even have the qualification to be stepped on by us!”

“The one who almost ended our streak last time was Starry Sky Martial Arts University!”

The blue-clothed youth from Imperial Martial Arts University laughed loudly, not fearing the Magic Martial Arts Prodigy Cadet's words at all.

“Damn it, I'll make sure you know who's the boss today!”

The Magic Martial Arts student immediately grew anxious and rolled up his sleeves to charge at the Imperial Martial Arts University student.

Seeing the two top colleges at each other's throats, the reporters from New Martial Media backed away one after another, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
